    Also while I'm on the subject of soil, is it a good idea to put a layer of stones/gravel at the bottom of the pot and then put the soil onto that.
    Yes...........hydroton clay pebbles/ball do the trick nicely

    Hydroton Clay Pebbles are made of clay with high water storage properties and balanced capillary action to accelerate plant growth.

    Hydroton pebbles offer a smooth surface without sharp edges that can cut delicate roots and harm plants making them vulnerable to pest and diseases.
    They ensure good root aeration and are pH neutral.
    Can be mixed with soil to provide better drainage, providing good aeration to the mix.
    It is essential that you wash the clay pebbles before you pot up to clean off the dust.

    It says it can be mixed with but dosent say nuffin bout layering the bottom of pot

    hi broken raver... Plagron Royalty-mix is a mix of the finest, carefully selected types of peat. It contains various types of fibre and perlite which results in a lightness and oxygen level you have come to expect only of Plagron quality potting soil. The abundant presence of unique Plagron worm compost ensures vigorous plant growth and increased water retention.

    Plagron Royalty-mix contains a carefully selected combination of organic fertilizers which meet all the plant’s nutritional requirements throughout the complete cycle. These Plagron fertilizers are unique because they are only released exactly when the plant needs them.

    Plagron Royalty-mix is Plagron’s premium product. Attention! Water well, allowing the water to seep through, before use. Do not add any fertilizer for the first 6 weeks ..

    only difference would be the fertilizer will run out quicker in the budget soil IMHO

    I use John Innes No.2 mixed with about 20% perlite for veg.

    and I use Plagron Batmix for flower. It already has perlite mixed in but I always put a bit more in.
